That's great, thanks! > Please find > > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rsbep/rsbep_0.0.5-1.dsc > > and > > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvbackup/dvbackup_0.0.4-7.dsc I've only looked at dvbackup for now: - Regarding the version number, I'm not sure the debian version should be 7. It's the first debian package with an upstream version of 0.0.4, so 0.0.4-1 seems appropriate. But again, to be confirmed, I'm not familiar with the convention in this (rather unusual) case. - There's a typo in your debian/changelog: repackajing -> repackaging. - Don't install ChangeLog explicitly, it's automatically installed as changelog.gz. ReleaseNotes is also redundant. - The example file debian/examples/rundvbackup should be installed in /usr/share/doc/dvbackup/examples/. - dvbackup.html contains essentially the same information as the man page, but starts with a big "dvbackup 0.0.2" header. I would simply not install it. - I don't think dvbackup should Depend on rsbep; it's not strictly required, so Recommends would be more appropriate. - In debian/copyright, it would be nicer to use standalone paragraph for the GPL-2+, instead of having a short and a long version of the license. - Regarding copyright, logo.xcf, minilogo.ppm and minilogo.c are (at least partly) © Larry Ewing [1].
